XRP Community Clarifies Escrow Balance Amid Confusion

The XRP community has stepped in to clarify Ripple's escrow balance after social media discussions sparked confusion over outdated or conflicting figures.

A user named 'Saul' noticed a lot of discussion about escrowed XRP and decided to share a current snapshot of the holdings, which stands at 32.4 billion XRP.

Hussein Zangana, director of community at the XRP Ledger Foundation, also known as 'Vet' on X, validated this figure using the popular XRP Ledger explorer, XRPScan.

XRP activated accounts are currently at 8,019,684; total XRP burned is 14,365,934 XRP; XRP escrowed is 32,445,002,702 XRP, while the current circulating supply stands at 67,526,265,430 XRP.

Vet shared an interesting detail highlighting the transparency around Ripple's public operations regarding the XRPL, including the addition of public operation accounts and addresses on the XRPL website, which are validated with Ripple's UNL validator signature.
